...professional golf, the way to a man's success appears to be through his stomach. Gary Player will go on for hours about the nutritive values of raisins. Jack Nicklaus dotes on oysters, consuming as many as six dozen at a sitting. Billy Casper, the year's top money winner ($81,515 so far) swears by a diet of buffalo steak and mooseburger. Last week at Akron's Firestone Country Club, Al Geiberger, 28, won the big gest prize of his seven-year pro career -the $25,000 P.G.A. championship - and announced that he owed...
Geiberger kind of liked Firestone. With the help of his trusty sandwich, Al won last year's American Golf Classic at Akron, and he MOORE celebrated his return last week by firing a two-underpar 68 in the first round-while pre-tournament Favorites Palmer and Nicklaus were scoring 75s and Bobby Nichols, the 1964 P.G.A. champion, was shooting a horrendous 81.

Phil Rodgers dropped out with a final round of 76; Palmer flailed around in the rough near the 10th hole for a miserable triple-bogey seven that took him out of contention. The tournament be came Sanders, Thomas and Nicklaus, all tied at one under par. Sanders and Thomas finished early, with scores of 283, and sat around the clubhouse waiting for slow, methodical Jack. Out on the battlefield, Nicklaus slammed a perfect drive down the middle of the 17th fairway, then hit a magnificent iron to the green within...
